lucky VS Marten

Lucky is a full-stack framework written in the Crystal programming language. One of the neat benefits of using Lucky with Crystal is the typesafety you get.

https://luckyframework.org/ . Kemal is even faster but it's mostly for APIs. In my opinion it's on par with Actix with much, much better developer experience.

I'd love to see two docs there:

- What's different from Lucky https://luckyframework.org/

- What's different from Amber https://amberframework.org/

> Regarding 1. While this is certainly an issue, it’s an issue for anyone using any framework and a challenge of database-backed web applications everywhere.

No, there are frameworks out there that doesn't allow queries during template rendering. See Lucky for an example, https://luckyframework.org/.

Id recommend trying out MartenDb. It's not really a PostgreSQL ORM, it actually uses Postgres more as a document database via jsonb. But it's excruciatingly easy to use and schema updates are a breeze (and largely automatic)

Check out Marten for a fully fleshed out implementation https://github.com/JasperFx/marten

We are using ExtCore here to make our app modular: https://extcore.net/, and MartenDB for event store (which is surprisingly VERY simple) : https://martendb.io/

I always loved Marten, it is so simple to use and yet powerful. If you are unfamiliar with it, it is a data access library (like an ORM) that is using JSON serialization and LINQ to store and query data from/to Postgres. It basically turns Postgres into document DB. Comparing it to EF, Marten doesn't require migrations since it stores documents.

You're better off using Postgres (has JSON columns.) If you want a more "document" oriented experience, use Marten: https://martendb.io/

For that part, the samples use EventStoreDB (https://www.eventstore.com/), which is the only mature event store I know in Node.js land. Event Sourcing allows using any database as backing storage. I'm co-maintainer of the Marten (https://martendb.io/), which is a .NET library that allows using Postgres as event store and document db.

Then you should check out Marten (https://martendb.io/). Our intention is to remove the boilerplate, we're using Postgres e having the built-in projections.

Not to be confused with the C# document database built on Postgres.
